Well, that sucks...

The idea that the BBC ever had a left wing bias is totally laughable

Submit complaints. The BBC charter requires impartiality, and they are bang to rights on farage

This now needs to be measured in minutes...

Days since Nigel Farage's face wan't on the BBC news website counter reset

Research Officer – Data Scientist/Statistician We are recruiting a Research Officer in data science/statistics on the Health Data Research UK Medicines in Acute and Chronic Care Driver Programme.

🚨🚨 Opportunity to come and work with us! We're looking to recruit a data scientist / statistician to apply complex models to understand adverse medicine reactions in people taking multiple medicines.

I told you we’d be back

I have successfully maintained my 0% success rate at funding applications! 🥳

Former string theorist here! You'll get no disagreement from me on your point, but ignoring the constants does make the calculations easier.

By far the best system of units! h-bar = c = G = epsilon_0 = 1 (= i = π)!
